People on ground are looking for other locations to occupy (camp). Homeless sleep in downtown every night, but peaceful protesters are being kept from occupying public parks and are being threatened with arrest.

1. A lot of police action against OWS tonight in various cities
Sounds like they coordinated things to crush the movement. TPTB still have a lot of sway.

2. Police action in NY, FL, WA suggest that it is coordinated.
The status quo is nervous. We need to stay calm, hold to our principles, and we will win.

11. The bastards!
They love testing their post-9/11 riot gear/anti-terrorism equipment on citizens.

4. I had a thought.
They can't arrest hundreds of people every damm day. When arrests
and mistreatment happen, people ought to get out there en masse
and just stay there.

6. They will jail millions if necessary to protect the system IMO. If need be they
will send in the National Guard, and if that doesn't do it the military. We profess to be a democracy, but when people peacefully protest they get kicked around.

8. democracy in name only, at this point.
and this movement will illustrate that. The claims of freedom and liberty are hollow and meaningless in the face of a militarized status quo.

9. And getting worse IMO, and with incredible technology to suppress the
masses. I've seen this country change soooo much.

7. but keep at it, don’t give up no matter what, and you will win
“All you people here are the next greatest generation, I can see it in the eyes of all of you. Do you know what makes a generation great? Facing down tyranny. Coming together as one united people in the face of fascism. You know that’s what this is all about. I don’t know if I’ll still be here when you win, but keep at, don’t give up no matter what, and you will win."
